Elvis becomes the 6th official of the club to have laid down his tools and the 7th to leave the club in two weeks.
The young and exuberant supporters’ leader is believed to have taken a cold bath from the board after leading a demonstration again the board of the club following the departure of Kosta Papic.
Hesse Jnr. led a section of the fans to a revolt against the board over the resignation of three members of the technical team.
The chairman of the National Chapters Committee in a statement to the board called for the office of the club to be put under lock and key and also requested for the Annual General Meeting of the board, which has not been held for the past three years, to be held immediately.
Following his action, insiders say the young man has been subjected to vilifications by other board members who see him as a mole, stabbing them in the back.
